Dear Friend,

Here is God's everlasting GREAT news to YOU and to me:

"Do not be afraid I bring you good news of great joy...
...A savior has been born TO YOU - Christ the Lord!"
Luke: 2:10 & 11

This timeless, lifting scripture verse spoken by God's angelic messenger to the shepherds in their fields on the first Christmas Eve...

...are the very words that I have placed on our 2008 Hour of Power Christmas Tree Ornament, in golden letters, just FOR YOU.

There is no "cost" to you if you write to me for this handmade glass ornament - but, any financial support you can provide at this time for our televised ministry will be a true blessing.

Your letter and gift, TODAY, will bring me "great joy" as our televised ministry is facing a growing pile of unpaid bills (many from television stations like the one that brings the Hour of Power into your home). These always begin to accumulate as the year end approaches.

I can't help but feel uneasy as I see these bills pile up -

but I am NOT afraid - because God has ALWAYS sent his "angels" who have ALWAYS provided the powerful financial lift we need to pay these bills.

Will you be one of these "angels" today and provide your "good news" gift of $20, $25, or even $30 at this critical time?

The summer is past, school has started, the Christmas holidays are coming...

...and, along with the joy that most of us experience during the holidays, for far too many other persons, come pressure, family conflict, and depression.

I've read countless letters in my lifetime that testify to the positive saving influence that our "good news," Christ-centered, weekly-televised Hour of Power has on the lives of many thousands of persons who face these pressures and negative feelings during the holidays.

YOUR GIFT TODAY COULD SAVE A PRECIOUS HUMAN SOUL as you help me keep our positive, televised, redeeming message alive on televisions everywhere.

When I hear from you, I'll send you the beautiful, hand blown glass Christmas Tree Ornament with the scripture verse from the second chapter of Luke imprinted upon it in golden letters.

Thank you for your life-saving help.

God loves you and so do I,

Dr. Robert H. Schuller
